Looking up or down.

Ja StoreyGUEST
Something that encapsulates both would be, it's this idea called the holarchy, and it's something that's been coming back more and more to the point where it probably comes to mind every day at this point, which is, you know, we've got this picture of, that we grew up with called hierarchy, which is this triangle, and this came from the days of sun worship because we believed, you know, before we'd left the planet and we hadn't really had a look around too much to see where we are.

Ja StoreyGUEST
All we had is like, okay, we're living here on this flat plane, and we look up and we see this sun at the top.

Ja StoreyGUEST
Um, but what I love is this idea of in- the holarchy, which is instead of a triangle, it's what we actually see when we zoom out from Earth, is it's circles within circles within circles.
